Its is a 3.5m Sirius on a 12 sided miniorb clad hardwood frame, stairs were fun.

Reinforced 1m cube footing and 2.3m 400mm dia. column isolated from concrete slab, topped by a 860mm tapered fabricated steel pier.

Love this Neil where is it? Gee I hope you have a railing around the landing outside the dome door now?? Heck, I've fallen off mine once but luckily it's only a 0.6m fall....
